On 23-26 March 2017, the Cape Town Swing community will be welcoming globe-trotting lindy hoppers to our beautiful city for the second edition of Mother City Hop. Join us for this highlight of the swing year!

3 days of swing dance workshops for all levels

4 nights of parties with live bands and guest DJs

7 top international teachers from the four *other* corners of the globe!

Each workshop track (beginner to advanced) will include six hours of lindy hop and two hours of solo jazz. Additionally, you may choose four different taster classes. These will include local dance styles such as Pantsula and Mozambican dance as well as swing dance concept classes on topics such as airsteps and lead-follow connection. Most of the workshops will be held on Saturday and Sunday, with plenty of time for socializing and partying in between!

Parties will be held each night from Thursday to Sunday in venues around Cape Town and the winelands. They'll feature live bands and excellent DJs, and showcase performances by the international teachers and other visitors.

We are a fun group of social dancers, who love to swing dance to the big band jazz of times gone by (1920s - 1940s, and occasionally mixing in some rock 'n roll and rockabilly!).

There are classes on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights for beginner and intermediate dancers. We host choreography practices on Wednesdays and Thursdays and regularly throw fantastic parties.

This March we welcomed Lindy hoppers from around the world to Cape Town for Mother City Hop - SA's very first swing dancing festival. It was an incredible event and we look forward to hosting it annually. We welcome newcomers of all levels at all our events. We look forward to meeting you and swinging out with you!
